Wasn't from strict dead hang, but with a slight angle in the beginning. Good progress. 4 years ago I couldn't get a chin-up, now one with 20kg extra weight. Plus back then I was 10kg lighter. So looks good. I've never done this with a weight-belt before anyway.

getting strong Dubby, you got any muscle on that upper body of yours yet?

Nope. But relatively big quads. I've gotten my shoulders and traps a bit more visible, but other than that I probably don't look like I lift too much. I haven't really trained to add muscle there so maybe there lies the issue

I'm just busting your chops man, you're making good progress and I'm intimidated by it

This was with a bodyweight of little under 80kg. I'm cutting a little fat at the moment (down 3kg in 14 days so far), so I'm on a diet while still pulling PR's. Today was refeed day, so that improved my drive even more. I've gotten 180kg on sumo last december, but never with a conventional. Today was the day. I felt invincible and I was. The moment the bar raise off the floor I knew I got it. High fives to all once again.

Not a big fan of multiple reps on deadlift, but C. Thibaudeau's 915 workout piqued my interest. When I looked at the rep scheme for Deadlift (well...for all of it actually) I thought "no way in hell!", but decided to give it a try. When I got my first set of 4 I decided to see if I could do the 5 sets they call for. Couldn't, but have worked up to 4 x 4. On the fifth set I can still only do 3.
